5
according

one hundred twenty (120) days after such damage to the building, due to the
inability of either party to obtain materials or labor needed, strikes or acts
of God or governmental restrictions that would prohibit, limit, or delay said
construction, then the time for completion of said repairs and replacement shall
be extended accordingly, provided,
however,
that in any event, if the repair or replacement of the building has not been
completed within a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such
damage or destruction, Tenant may, at its option, and in addition to other
remedies available to Tenant, elect to terminate this Lease. In the
event of any damage or destruction occurring in the last six (6) months of the
original term of this Lease or during any extension of the term, to the extent
of fifty percent (50%) or more of the insurable value of the building, Tenant
may, at its option, to be evidenced by notice in writing given to Landlord
within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage and destruction, in
lieu of repairing or replacing such building, elect to terminate this Lease as
of the date of said damage or destruction.
ARTICLE

of the Leased Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public use under
any statute or by right of eminent domain or by private purchase in lieu
thereof, Tenant reserves unto itself the right to prosecute its claim for an
award based upon injury caused to its leasehold interest by such taking, without

total Premises or (d) such

adjacent public street or highway or (e) such taking makes the carrying on of
Tenant's business impractical, then, and in any such event, the Tenant may at
any time either prior to or within a period of sixty (60) days after the date
when possession of the Leased Premises shall be required by the taking authority
elect to terminate this Lease. In the event that Tenant shall fail to
exercise any such option to terminate this Lease or in the event that a part of
the Leased Premises shall be taken under circumstances under which the Tenant
will have no such option, then the Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense
and with reasonable promptness, restore the remaining portion of the Leased
Premises to the extent necessary to reconstitute the improvements thereon as a
complete architectural unit, susceptible to the same use as that which was in
effect immediately prior to such taking and the Rent payable under the
provisions of the lease shall be equitably reduced according to the decrease in
the utility of the Leased Premises for Tenant's intended use and the effect
thereof upon the business of Tenant.
ARTICLE
22. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Tenant may not,
without consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,

Lease, strictly in accordance with the terms of this Lease and shall
continue in default for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof by Landlord of default and demand of performance, then and in any such

person occupying the same in or upon said Premises, using such force
as may be necessary, and to repossess and enjoy said Premises as

expiration of thirty (30) days from and after the giving of the
notice of aforesaid, commences to eliminate the cause of such default and
